    Formula to limit maximum value

    I have a large column of data and wish to run a formula over the data which checks the value and changes it to a set value if it exceeds a certain amount.

    ie. for a single field it would look like this IF(C7>50,50,) but this doesn't run over the whole column.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You need to clarify exactly what you mean with a specific example - preferably in a workbook.
    For instance what's the default condition for the IF() test? i.e what if C7 <=50
    Are you looking to use the maximum column C value in the IF test?
    What do you mean by 'run over the whole column'?

    Thanx, I have solved the problem, used the IF formula as in the OP and filled the column adjacent my data.
